These type of people would be commonly experiencing terror that is a feeling that something terrible is going to happen. Racing heart, difficulty in breathing, chest pains, sweating, trembling, numbness in the hands and feet, chilling, fear of losing control, fear of dying, fear of going crazy, crawling sensation on top of head and heaviness in the head are some of the other symptoms of panic attacks.
